August 14, 2015

What's
better than a handsome prince? A handsome prince with an adorable dog! Hearts
around the world melted as
Prince Carl Philip was photographed in Lindköping in southern Sweden on
August 9 posing with a pooch.

In
the snap a casual, yet chic-looking Carl is wearing light colored pants and
button down with a grey blazer and aviator sunglasses. He's all smiles posing
with the unknown dog and proudly putting his wedding band on display.

Sweden's
third in line to the throne is no stranger playing with pups. He and his new
wifePrincess Sofia have their own named Siri and Carl has been photographed
playing with
Princess Madeleine's dog Zorro.

This
adorable pic is one of the few that has come out since Carl and Sofia's wedding
in June. The duo showed up to the
Scandinavian Touring Car
Championships on July 12 where Carl took home first place, but their first
official appearance wasn't until a couple of days later.
The newlyweds' first engagement was
on July 14 when they joined the rest of the Swedish royal family for
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden’s birthday
celebrations.

The
last time the Swedish royals were together was at
Carl
Philip and Sofia’s wedding
, with Madeleine heavily pregnant.
The new little bundle of joy, a baby boy called Nicolas Paul Gustaf, managed to
hold off his arrival until two days after his uncle’s big day.

Clearly
easing back into official royal duties after their lavish nuptials and romantic
12-day
honeymoon
on one of Fiji’s small islands, the 36-year-old
prince isn't set to make another appearance until August 18 when he'll visit
the Sigvard & Marianne Bernadotte Research Foundation for Children's Eye
Care. Then on August 26, he will be joined by his wife when they visit Varmland
for two day days.

Until
then, we'll just have to settle at swooning over this latest adorable picture.
